Here is a large matrix specimen of the rare mineral babingtonite, the Massachusetts state mineral. Scores of lustrous black tabular crystals to 4mm are crystallized on white calcite, which makes for good contrast. The plethora of shiny wet look crystals make this is a very important display specimen suitable for any collector, but especially for New England collectors. This piece comes out of my own collection, and I collected it myself in 1988.
